    Question

    My husband has been overseas for a year now and I finally got to see him last week. About a week after he went back I have noticed brown discharge and it isnt time for a period. I realize we havent had sex in a while but would this contribute to the discharge? I have never had an abnormal Pap.

    Answer

    The only way to know for sure is to have an exam, tell the doctor everything and let her test you for sexually transmitted infection. Sorry!
